Searching For Home

Searching for Home

North, East, South or West
Where do I search for the best

Lat or Long, up or down
Postcode, County or just a Town

City or Village, then what’s next, a birth or death but there’s no connect.
So, I ask again, which search is the best

Is it the internet, that worldwide web
Or Google Earth and OS Maps

Look Left or right and up and down 
But no I will not become a clown

There are records, records, everywhere
But none that I can find for my quest

So which search is the best 

To find my ancestors

I think if you start with a garden in Eden you will be well on our way to discovering your ancestors. I think a fellow by the name of Gideon left a bunch of road maps scattered in drawers in hotel and motel rooms. A belated welcome to poetry soup.
